WE notice that in Chicago those
in control of the public schools
have devoted one day, this year, as
a sort of memorial day in which
the valor, devotion and principles
for which the Union soldiers fought
were fully set forth. We deem this
a wise thought. We have "Child-
ems day" in our Sunday schools
we observe Good Friday, Christ
mas, the Fourth Of July. Thanks
giving, New Yeare. All these come
to US from our honored past. The
rebellion was unholy, uncalled for
and unjust, and why not set apart
in our public schools one day each
year, to so teach the young, ana
also set before them the noble ex-
ample of those who, through much
sacrifice, crushed it? The thought
is worthy Of consideration Galena

One of the maxins of war is:
"Fiud out what the enemy does not
want and then do that thing" In
the temperance reform we know
that our enemies do not want prohi-
biuon. They know that the mere
outlawry of the traffic irrespective
of the smarts of enforcement is
damaging to their business and their
influence, hence they violently and
persistently oppose prohibition.
There are many other reasons why
temperance men should advocate
prohibition but when every distilIer
and rumseller is outspoken and
voclterous against II, we may feel
pretty sure 1t Is what we want. You
can never overthrow an evil 10y
acting In concert with the friends
and supporters of that evil. You
may safely couclsde that you are on
the wrong track when the aiders
and abettors of a wrong are satisfied
with your course and applaud your
action.

out of our lands. You know that all
agricultural lands produce less and less
except they are constantly renewed by
fertilizers, and our people are too poor
to buy those. The increased aggregate
crop Is due TO increased acreage, but we
have not been able to increase the former
III the same proportion that we have in
creased the latter and the amount of
labor expended. We work over moro
| ground and more hands are employed,
but 1T costs more to make bale of cot
| ton now than it formerly did.
Another reason, thlrk, why we do
not raise as mitch cotton to an acre as
we formerly did is that we don't get
what We call as good Il stand as wo
used to. The importance of this is not
likely to be appreciated by one who has
never lived where cotton is raised. If
there arc many long, vacant spaces in
the rows of cotton plants, they may
grow worry thrifty, and the field, as one
looks over it, may appear to bear great
crop, and yet, when the cotton comes to
be pick it will turn out light. Now, in
order to secure good stand, that is, to
have the ground all occupied, the closest
care and attention are necessary at q GER
tain critical period. In former times,
whou the planter had complete control
of the Labor he could enforce this care
and attention as hC cannot do now. The
cotton lands Of the South are now mostly
rented to the negroes and II the owner
retains an interest in the crop he has 40
voice Ill the manner in which it shall be
worked. III he should interfere the ne
grocs would resent it.. There is a great
deal OF careless farming in the South.

personal experience does not approve the

throws but little dirt to the corn, yet
enough to cover we'll the step between

only by couscicutiously C?) careful labor

to stop aud uncover plants, or cover or
pull out wCc's or grass with foot or
hand as he goes. He should be i'm

cleaning the young plants must be done
